On December 10, marking International Human Rights Day, Associate Professor Viktoriia PANKRATOVA from the Department of Fundamental Jurisprudence and Constitutional Law conducted a themed class for students of the Junior Academy of Sciences. The session aimed not only to deepen students’ knowledge of human rights but also to foster the development of legal awareness in the younger generation.
During the session, students explored the main types of human rights, their classifications, and their significance in today’s world. Special attention was given to the analysis of human rights catalogs as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of Ukraine.
The practical part of the session was organized as interactive legal case studies. The use of modern educational platforms enabled students to revisit theoretical material and solidify their understanding in an engaging, gamified format. Participants analyzed real-life scenarios, identified human rights violations, and proposed solutions for protecting these rights.
“Today’s youth are the future defenders of human rights. It is crucial for them not only to be aware of their rights but also to know how to stand up for them,” emphasized Viktoriia Pankratova.
The session sparked genuine interest among the students, who actively posed questions, discussed challenging cases, and shared their own perspectives. Events like these contribute to the development of legal culture among young people and instill an appreciation for the value of rights and freedoms in a democratic society.
